At all the meetings of citizens of Ea-
ton for public enterprises, the audiences
are generally talked to death by some
crank who seizes the opportunity to pa
rade before the public his scent gen.
erosity, or to tell how much he knows!
Rats! Rats!
A citizens meeting was held at the
Opera House on Friday evening of last
week, and books opened for share hold
ers in the new gas company. Four hum
dred shares at $25 per share is wanted.
About one-half of the amount has been
taken up to this time.
That feeling of WEAKNESS, so often ex-
perienced in the spring, results from. a
sluggish condition of the blood which,
being impure, does not quicken with
the changing season. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla, by vitalizing and cleansing the
blood, strengthens and invigorates the
system.

Read the papers. There are too many
farmers who fail to inform themselves
of what is going on in the agricultural
world. Too many who do not realize
what s%tupendous changes have taken
place, what facts have been elected,
what discoveries have been made, what
great approaches toward making agri-
culture an exact science.
One of the greatest vexations the far
mer has to endure is to nave the cut
worms cut down his corn after it is up.
Corn planting is at hand, and the Ma
rietta Register is authority for the state
ment that if one quart of turpentine is
poured over a busheI of shelled seed
corn, and let stand for an hour before
planting, the ravages of the grub-worm
will be stayed.
Every soldier should get his discharge
recorded with the county recorder. The
revised statutes say: ''The recorder
shall upon request of any discharged
soldier on presentation of his discharge,
record such discharge in a book to be
provided by the county commissioners
for that purpose, and such a record or
a certified copy thereof, shall be r~eceiv-
ed in evidence in all cases where the
original discharge would. be received"

1t seems like a waste of time and at
tention on the part of the newspapers
to be constantly warning farmers
against schemes of a lot of sharks and
swindlers that roam over the country.
Strange as it may seem, there are many
intelligent farmers who will read these
warnings and yet go out and fall into
the trap of the first Bohemian oats,
lightning rod, tool sharpener, washing
machine, or agricultural implement

Every boy and young man should
take up with some trade or profession.
A man without a steady business is like
a shovel without a handle OF a bell with
out a clapper-used only for odd jobs.
Look about you, my boy, and see what
becomes of the man who does not learn
a trade or profession. He is a sort of
tramp, first at one thing and then at
another. He may work at digging a
cellar to-day and in a backyard or har-
vest field tomorrow. He does all the
drudgery and gets the pay of a drudge,
which is so small that he can't lay up a
dollar, and if he happens to be a few
days without work, which he frequent
ly is, he is 'sdead broke"
